Yunyi’s reassignment to Hua’an Farm Reclamation was soon finalized.
She had already informed the people there that she would not be able to report until after the village had distributed the grain.
The distribution of grain in the village wouldn’t start until after the delivery of the public grain. Most of the commune members not working these days were on the mountain preparing firewood for the winter.
A few days ago, Yunyi found a good spot in the deep mountains, not only suitable for drying cured meat but also with a natural cave perfect for smoking meat.
She was thinking of making a trip there in the next few days to hang the cured meat.
She didn’t worry about someone finding the place. After all, very few dared to venture deep into the mountains.
Fearing that wild animals might be attracted by the scent and cause damage, she had specially made plenty of Beast Repellent Powder to scatter around the area when she went there.
Yunyi had asked the Branch Secretary and the brigade leader to keep her transfer to Hua’an Farm Reclamation a secret for now.
They really hadn’t expected Yunyi to move so quickly.
The brigade leader, Qiao Yougen, had intended to have a talk with Yunyi after the public grain was delivered, planning to reassign her to the village health clinic.
But before he could act, she had already been reassigned to Hua’an Farm Reclamation.
Since they offered a salary, he had no reason to ask her to stay and had to let go of the idea.
After learning about Yunyi’s departure, the Branch Secretary felt a pang of regret, understanding that for a capable person like Chu Zhiqing, leaving was only a matter of time.
Before heading to the mountains, Yunyi planned to make a trip to the county first, as she had spent the past few days learning how to fry dry goods with the older women in the village.
Both smoking meat and drying cured meat required time. She planned to send some fried dry goods first and then, before the New Year, send some cured and smoked meat as festival gifts.
Today she was going to the county to send the fried dry goods. Next time, she could send the cured meat directly from the commune. Sending packages separately meant she wouldn’t have to worry about a large parcel causing trouble.
Carrying a basket on her back, when she reached the entrance of the village and saw many people waiting for the oxcart, she took a side path to avoid the village entrance.
After walking for a while, she took out her bicycle from the storage space and headed towards the county town.
She had packed full bags of various fried dry goods and dried mushrooms for the Wei Family, Hua Family, and Gu Family, as she had received parcels from these families in the previous days. Although the items were not numerous, they were thoughtfully chosen, and naturally, she needed to reciprocate.
She rode fast, and when she reached the outskirts of the county town, she found a secluded spot to tie the three bags she was going to send onto the rear seat of her bike.
